Abstract excerpt
A novel moderately halophilic, Gram-positive bacterium, designated strain QW6(T), was isolated from textile industry wastewater in Qom, Iran. Strain QW6(T) was strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating and oxidase- and catalase-positive. It grew at salinities of 1-25% (w/v) NaCl, showing optimal growth at 7.5-10.0% (w/v). Growth occurred at 5.0-45.0 degrees C and over the pH range 6.5-10.0; growth was optimal...
